Cherkizovo Group (MOEX: GCHE), the largest vertically integrated meat producer in Russia, announces operating results for December, the fourth quarter, and full 2020.[1]
Fourth quarter 2020 highlights:
Chicken: Sales volume of 176.2 thousand tonnes was in line with the 4Q19 and previous quarter results. Average sales price increased by 4% y-o-y and 5% q-o-q.
Turkey: JV Tambov Turkey sales volume of 11.3 thousand tonnes increased by 1% y-o-y and 11% compared to the previous quarter. Average sales price declined 3% y-o-y and increased by 1% q-o-q.
Pork: Sales volume declined by 5% y-o-y and increased by 11% q-o-q. Average sales price increased by 19% y-o-y and fell by 8% q-o-q, as domestic pork crept higher, imports declining to negligible levels, and demand from local and export customers supporting the prices which increased by 19% y-o-y.
Meat Processing: Sales volume growth of 5% y-o-y and 6% q-o-q was driven by the broadened distribution of the sausage products. Average sales price increase of 7% y-o-y is attributed to the higher prices of the sausages and carcasses.
Grain (annual results): Harvest of 797 thousand tonnes increased by 34% y-o-y with sales adding 27% y-o-y. Optimized crop rotation focusing on wheat, corn, and soybeans, coupled with higher yields achieved, are the significant drivers for better results than last year.
